Sock it to me
Well, my socks are coming along. They just about come up to the balls of my feet, and everything! And now I know why so many people in the knitting community have been raving about Koigu. Nice yarn and what beautiful colors! It didn’t photograph as well as I’d like–there’s more green and yellow in the real thing . . . it’s like the photo picked up all the subtle colors and left the primary ones alone.
And, today, my order from Allegro Yarns came–my Fiddlesticks Yarn Peacock Feathers shawl pattern, and a lovely green yarn in the color, “Peacock.” (Honest!) Given the choice, though, I think I’m going to try the Knit Picks yarn I got last week–I like the blue/green/turquoise thing for a peacock feather shawl. I think I’ll save the green (which is really pretty, mind you!) for something else.
Okay . . . want to get some spinning done before bedtime…!

House Calls
I am working on the flower basket shawl with that same yarn (same color) from allegro yarns as well. And while I haven’t tried the knit picks yarn I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the fabric I’m getting from the zephyr. It really has a nice drape and yet is still light enough to be a lace yarn. I’m not saying reconsider – just a quicky review from someone using the same yarn. Good luck.
